Understanding Your Rights as a Pedestrian

While it may not seem like it, crossing the street in a crosswalk is statistically
one of the most dangerous things that people do on a daily basis. Approximately
30% of all pedestrian-related fatalities occur while the pedestrian is
crossing in a crosswalk at a busy intersection. Nearly half of these fatalities
occur at intersections that have no visible markings. While it is true
that pedestrians always have the right of way, many drivers fail to yield
to pedestrians, or simply do not see them. This can lead to extensive
injuries when an individual is struck by a car or other motor vehicle.

Common factors that lead to pedestrian accidents include:

High volume of pedestrians

Increased traffic at busy intersection

The number of traffic lanes

Decreased visibility

Driver impairment

Distracted driving or DUI
